Progress bar help please

[Rocky5]

Hi;

I am looking for a generic Progress bar that does real time incrementation
of the width of the bar.

Example

Launch a Query (Several thousands of records)

Progress bar

Query is almost done

Progress Bar Closes

Result set (Dynast shows up)


.. Trying to get a generic one that looks like a true windows application.
and to be able to use that in several different applications

Thought about the do events

Thanks for your help.

Hi Rocky

You can use the native Access progress meter - check out the following three
SysCmd actions:
acSysCmdInitMeter, <text>, <max value>
acSysCmdUpdateMeter, <progress value>
acSysCmdRemoveMeter

If you don't like that, you can run your own. Many people like a larger,
more central progress meter, so you can create a form with a coloured
rectangle that grown in length as the operation progresses.

HOWEVER, both these methods require your code to have control during the
operation, so that you can execute the commands to update the meter. If you
are running a query thenthere is no way to make regular callbacks to your
own code to update the progress.

So, the short answer is: Sorry, it can't be done.
